Cameras welcome! Imagine some of the world’s most splendid scenery – nearly 2,000 islands, the shimmering blue bays of Great Lake Ontario, sparkling rivers and streams, and hundreds of miles of picturesque coastline and more.

This summer, I LOVE NEW YORK, would like to invite you to experience one of its 11 vacation regions – starting in the historic town of Oswego, and ending with the majestic castles of the St. Lawrence Seaway, you’ll discover cultural treasures and boundless adventures on land, water and air.

Enjoy the picturesque views, al fresco dining, shopping and sightseeing, art and antique boat museums, trophy fishing to balloon rides over the Alexandria Bay, historic battlefields and much, much more.

Knows as one of the top great American drives, connects historic lighthouses, quaint villages, wineries, the impressive Eisenhower Lock, and great outdoor activities from bird-watching to scuba diving in the crystal-clear waters.

We are planning for July 19^th – 22^nd but please let me know if another time frame works better for you this summer. Looking forward to hearing from you shortly. 

Best wishes,

Melanie
